DermaSweep:
Microdermabrasion in OKC

"Sweep Away The Signs Of Aging"

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion, also known as “Microderm”, is a group of related cosmetic procedures in which the superficial layer of dead skin, the stratum corneum, is exfoliated or removed partially or completely by light abrasion. It has also been called a “lunchtime peel”, a “power peel”, or a “derma peel.” The purpose of the light abrasion is to remove sun-damaged skin, to remove or lessen the appearance of scars, and/or to improve the appearance of areas of pigmentation abnormalities or dark spots.

Microdermabrasion can also help improve fine-lines, wrinkles, large pores and even skin tone, leaving skin with a soft and radiant glow. It has the fewest side effects of any skin procedure and works well on all skin types and colors. It helps the skin look younger, healthier, and for some people, close to perfect.

Microdermabrasion is a common procedure performed in OKC because it is quick and painless, and can be performed without the use of general anesthesia, as we do daily at BodyTrends.

Microdermabrasion is distinguished from Dermabrasion, a more extensive cosmetic medical procedure, in that Dermabrasion involves a complete abrasion of the skin. Because of the extent of removal of the epidermis, Dermabrasion, which is usually performed with an electric particle ‘sander’ is painful, involves bleeding and requires general anesthesia. The skin is frequently red and raw looking, and may take several weeks to heal. Although the results with Dermabrasion can be good, there is a risk of infection and permanent scarring. That, combined with the pain, downtime, risk of infection and/or permanent scarring and long time to heal have made Dermabrasion a less than desirable option for many of our Oklahoma City clients. For more extensive skin rejuvenation, most people will opt for the non-invasive laser resurfacing like Pixel and use microdermabrasion for an anti-aging maintenance plan.

What is DermaSweep?

DermaSweep is the medical Microdermabrasion system which combines gentle precision brush-tip skin exfoliation with variable vacuum pressure, and the option of infusion of vitamins, cosmeceuticals and botanicals that enrich the skin, making it the most comfortable and efficacious skin treatment available. Dermasweep has a variable level vacuum that gently lifts the skin, and allows the nylon bristles to perform a more effective and less irritating exfoliation. The lack of particles avoids the problem of crystal retention by the skin. The DermaSweep technology allows the simultaneous infusion of a number of solutions formulated to address specific dermatological conditions. These solutions include Hyaluronic Acid, Salicylate, Vitamin C, Kojic Acid, Panthenol, Lactic acid, Azelaic Acid, Aloe Vera, Chamomile, Witch Hazel, Bearberry, or Licorice Root.

In general an improvement is seen with the first treatment, and fewer treatments are required than for other microdermabrasion techniques.

There are a number of Med Spa Microdermabrasion systems including Equipro Rotoderm, Crystalift, ProMicro, Derma Diamond, Nova Diamond Renovater, DermaGlow just to name a few. At BodyTrends, we have chosen DermaSweep over the competitors for its performance, reliability and client satisfaction.

There are also home Microderm kits. Our Oklahoma City clients have used many including Borba HD, Estee Lauder, Physicians Formula, Olay Regenerist, Dermelect, Mary Kay, Dr Brandt, Merle Norman, Neutrogena Illuminating, St. Ives, RoC Daily, and La Prairie, to name a few. Some of these products are good, but none are spa quality. Interestingly, the cheapest microdermabrasion in OKC is found not with these products, but at the BodyTrends Med Spa, with DermaSweep.

Treatment time may be as short as 15 minutes. There is no downtime. The client may return to work after the treatment. Make-up should be avoided until the following day.
